It was an overreaction by me to use the term "barbarian" when I suggested MLK Jr should've said "The riot is the language of the barbarian." Much better said if it's "The riot is the language of the not so good people with valid grievances." And I realize the black rioters back then and now are a small percentage of all blacks in America.
Edit: And I have some possible evidence that most or all people are bad. Just look at the millions of people who voted for Trump in 2016. They may be mostly or all bad people. You may counter that by claiming that most of them were simply voting for the lesser of two evils from their Republican or conservative point of view. But what if that's not the case and they are actually bad?
Which means the standard view of most people that only 1 to 5 percent of all people are bad may not be true. Add in the Trump voters and the percentage goes up. So if my reasoning causes anyone to bump up their 1 to 5% view to even just 10% of all people being bad people then to me that's quite an accomplishment.
Next I have to justify why progressives are mostly or all bad people just like conservatives. One step at a time. I'm a bad person too for suggesting that most or all people are bad. I'm not trying to crack jokes with that. There are other reasons I'm bad which is shared by millions of others.
For example like condoning or not speaking out against US drone strikes that are still killing innocent civilians in middle eastern countries. And a much more serious one is supporting Bill Clinton's war in the Balkans in the 90s but then being against the Bush's Iraq war in 2003. That's hypocrisy on my part because both presidents claimed atrocities against civilians in those countries was one of the reasons for invading both. Republicans who are for that Iraq war but against the Balkans war have the same hypocrisy for the same reason imo. Btw I think I'm a moderate.
It wasn't an overreaction is was straight up stupid. You clearly know this. Stop quibbling with your self like anyone else can't see exactly what you're doing.
What? How the fuck is that evidence that most or all people are bad?
Whomever told you that only 1-5% of people are bad is an idiot. There are no absolute good people. Even some of the worst killers in all of history did some objectively good or nice things at times. Human beings are not binary good/bad. Its incredibly ignorant to view them as such.
Clinton's war in the Balkans? You mean when there was literal genocide happening? That genocide occurred is not in dispute (in fact the ones that did it initially tried to brag, until the rest of the world said "wait, what?" and rolled in with military force. If you don't think stopping genocide is at all a worthy cause compared to making up shit about Saddam Hussein having weapons of mass destruction (to attack the US, Bush absolutely was doing it under the guise of protecting America and not Iraqis - as evidenced by the fact that we killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqis in the process). We literally know Bush's Administration lied about things. This is not in dispute. I don't even think they dispute that any more (although they have occasionally tried to justify it in other ways - ones that seem even dumber with the hindsight we now have about how royally they completely fucked up). You really need to check your facts.
By the way, you're not a moderate. You're literally trying to rationalized demonizing literally everyone but yourself.
I don't know if your account got hijacked or you're experiencing a severe mental health issue, but if you can't see how bonkers your posts in this thread are, then the people around you might be in danger. This is the type of thinking that people like Timothy McVeigh used to end up becoming a pawn in the white supremacist libertarian "true patriots" world of bullshit.
